The Enterprise Tape Library 3494 is a cost-effective, highly reliable, and space-efficient tape automation solution for a variety of user environments. The 3494 can be shared across multiple host systems such as zSeries, S/390, pSeries, RS/6000, iSeries, AS/400, HP, Sun, Intel-based servers, and others. It is a modular system that contains a cartridge accessor, a library manager, and storage cells for tape cartridges. The 3494 supports the Enterprise Tape Drive 3592 Model J1A, the 3592 Model J70 Controller, the 3490E Model C1A, C2A, and F1A Tape Drives, the 3590 Model H1A, E1A, and B1A Tape Drives the 3590 Model A00, A50, and A60 Controllers, and can include the 3494 VTS Model B16. A Model B10, B18, or B20 VTS can be externally attached to the 3494. The VTSs are cost/performance solutions to provide attached host systems a hierarchical storage management system and exploit the capacity and performance of attached tape drives. The Model HA1 Frames provide a second accessor and library manager for high availability and improved performance. The 3494 provides a cost-effective solution for automating tape operations such as save/restore, migration of data between disk and tape, and other mass data applications. Use of high-performance tape drives may enable you to reduce costs by potentially using less tape drives, cartridges, floor space, power, and personnel.

The Model L22 is a single unit that contains the automation, the library manager, up to four 3592 Model J1A Tape Drives, and provides storage cells for 1/2" tape cartridges. The cartridge capacity is determined by whether or not an optional convenience I/O Station is installed and by whether an optional dual gripper is installed. With the single gripper installed, and with the 30-cartridge Convenience I/O Station installed, the cartridge storage capacity is 160; with the 10-cartridge Convenience I/O Station installed, the cartridge storage capacity is 210; without either one, the capacity is 240. With the dual gripper installed, the cartridge capacities are 144, 190, and 216, respectively. The storage capacity and number of drives can be increased by adding either a VTS Model B16, storage frames, or drive expansion frames. Drive expansion frames supported include: The Model D22 which can contain up to twelve 3592 Model J1A Tape Drives and from 230 to 400 cartridges; the Model D24, which can contain up to eight 3592 Model J1A Tape Drives, up to one 3592 Model J70 Controller or 3590 Model A60 Controller, and from 275 to 400 cartridges. the Model D10 (and feature code #5300), containing either 3490E C1A, C2A, or F1A Tape Drives and from 300 to 400 cartridges; the Model D12 (and feature code #5302), which can contain up to six 3590 Model H1A, E1A, or B1A Tape Drives and from 250 to 400 cartridges; the Model D14 (and feature #5304), which can contain up to four 3590 Model H1A, E1A, or B1A Tape Drives, up to one 3592 Model J70 Controller or 3590 A60, A50, or A00 Controller, and from 305 to 400 cartridges. Storage frames supported include the Model S10 (and feature code #5400), containing storage for 400 cartridges. The VTS Model B10, B16, B18, or B20 can also be integrated with Model D12 Frames and attached to the Model Lxx to provide a hierarchical storage management system for attached host systems. While the 3592 Model J70 Controller or 3590 Model A60 Controller cannot be installed in the Model L22, 3592 Tape Drives in the Model L22 can be attached to a 3592 Model J70 Controller or 3590 Model A60 Controller in an adjacent Model D24 when utilizing Adjacent Frame Support. Feature codes #5300, #5302, #5304, and #5400 are supported as field changes only.

Enterprise Tape Drive 3592

The Enterprise Tape Drive 3592 Model J1A is a follow-on to the highly successful Enterprise Tape Drive 3590. It is designed for high-performance tape applications, including:

• High-speed data save operations where backup windows are critical, and large amounts of data are archived to tape.

• Large-scale automated tape environments where performance and reliability are required. These are primarily half-inch tape drive environments.

• Large-scale mass data archive applications where massive amounts of data need to be quickly saved to tape for storage and later recall (examples include the seismic industry, data warehousing, and record management applications)

The 3592 Model J1A is the first model in a family of tape products that are designed to meet the growing needs of both new and existing IBM tape customers across a wide range of environments. Advantages of the Enterprise Tape Drive 3592 Model J1A with the Enterprise Tape Library 3494 include:

• Smaller form factor, which can help reduce the automation foot print

• Dual-ported native switched fabric interface, designed to enhance attachment flexibility

• High reliability, to help you improve operations

Investment Protection

The Model L22 is designed to offer granularity and flexible expansion. This can be done by adding Tape Drive Expansion Frames, Tape Storage Frames, or a Model B16 VTS frame up to a total of fifteen additional frames. The stand-alone Model B10, B18, or B20 VTS is not counted in these totals. Configurations of 1 to 16 frames are allowed when the 3494 configuration does not contain a Model HA1. When Model HA1 Frames are attached, configurations of 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16 frames are allowed (not counting the two service bay frames).

Field upgrades are available that enable conversion of an installed 3494 Frame that contains 3490 or 3590 Tape Drives, to the 3494 Model L22, D22, or D24 Frame. These help enable you to take advantage of IBM tape technology as it becomes available.

System Management

The environment confronting system management today is one of explosive information growth, and includes requirements for unattended operations, quick access to information, and system availability.

The Model L22 is designed to provide a tape automation solution to satisfy a wide range of system management requirements. The 3494 together with tape management software improve system management. Potential benefits include: improved accuracy/security in tape handling, automated data migration/management, potential for reducing disk growth, enablement of new applications, reduction of access time to data, reduction of operator labor, and the reduction of floor space requirements. These benefits may help promote increased system availability, improved system reliability, and reduced overall system management cost.

The Model L22 is designed to offer the customer a wide variety of tape transport and processor connection variations. The Model L22 is designed to support up to 32 tape control unit functions, up to 8 host RS-232 connections, and a LAN attachment (token ring or Ethernet). Each Fibre Channel attached 3592 Model J1A, 3490E Model C1A, C2A, SCSI-attached F1A, SCSI-attached 3590 Model H1A, E1A, or B1A, Fibre Channel attached 3590 Model H1A or E1A, and 3590 Model A50 or A00 Controller utilize one tape control unit connection. The 3490E Model F1A Control Unit (feature #3000 or #3500) requires one host RS-232 connection. The Model B16 VTS requires two tape control function connections and one host processor connection. The 3592 Model J70 Controller or The 3590 Model A60 Controller utilizes one tape control unit connection for each feature #9061 specified. If the 3592 Model J70 Controller or Model A60 attaches to the Attachment Concentrator (#5232), then one feature #9060 should be specified on the Model Lxx for each attached 3592 Model J70 or 3590 Model A60 and no tape control unit connection on the library manager is used. The quantity of tape transports supported is dependent on the mix of tape drives and/or tape controllers installed. Processor connections for library commands include up to 8 RS-232 connections, when #5229 is installed, and token ring (#5219) or Ethernet (#5220) LAN attachment. The quantity of LAN-attached processors is limited to 32. Each 3592 Tape Drive has two Fibre Channel connections available. Each 3590 Tape Drive has two SCSI-2 or Fibre Channel connections available. Each 3590 Model A50 or A00 Controller can have 2 ESCON connections available. The 3592 Model J70 Controller 3590 Model A60 Controller can have ESCON or FICON connections. Each 3490E Model CxA has 2 SCSI-2, OEMI, or ESCON connections available in any combination. Each F1A can be attached to a SCSI-host adapter, or through its control unit (feature #3500) to parallel channel or ESCON connections.

A mirrored dual disk is standard in the library manager of the 3494. It is designed to allow a non-disruptive switch-over to the secondary disk in the event of a loss of the primary disk. This is designed to provide the capability to recover the library manager data base in case of the failure of the primary disk drive, which may decrease the time to get back in operation.

Mount from Input Station allows cartridges outside the library to be mounted on devices within the library and used to support stand-alone programs, such as IPL, that do not require the support of a full-operating system. The Mount from Input Station function allows one or more cartridges to be placed into the convenience I/O station and be mounted on a specific device, chosen by the operator from the library console, in the 3494. Mounts and demounts are handled by the library manager; mount/demount commands are not accepted from the control program. The cartridges can be used for either reading or writing data. As each cartridge is unloaded from the device, it is returned to the I/O station. Cartridges mounted in this manner do not require any machine-readable external label enabling the use of the 3494 devices for interchange and software update cartridges. In essence, the cartridges transit through the library to the device and back out of the library. In addition to Mount from Input Station for externally-unlabeled cartridges, for internally-unlabeled cartridges there are other functions that allow the software to either bypass label processing or provide non-labeled tape processing options. These two capabilities help allow greater flexibility in planning for a customer's drive requirements.

The Remote Console function provides the capability to place a second library console anywhere on the customer's token ring or Ethernet LAN. This function is designed to provide operations personnel a more efficient and effective way of performing other functions while still being able to monitor and/or control the 3494.

The 3494 library manager is designed to provide monitoring over a TCP/IP LAN network. Various operating conditions create alerts that can be sent to one or more Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) monitoring stations. This enables monitoring the operation of the 3494, along with other equipment, and alerting the operations staff of possible problems or operator interventions that occur at the library.

The Dual Gripper is designed to help enhance performance of the accessor in the 3494 by eliminating the time required to return a demounted cartridge to storage before mounting the next cartridge. This enhanced performance raises the overall performance of the 3494 in longer configurations of 3 or more units. Maximum performance is achieved by utilizing "floating home cell." This allows the accessor to store a cartridge in any empty cell instead of returning the cartridge to its original, or "fixed home cell" position. Data availability may be further enhanced by the redundant hardware that is present with the dual gripper. Mechanical failure of one gripper does not render the 3494 inoperable. Cartridge storage capacity is reduced by approximately 10% when Dual Gripper is installed. Refer to the "3494 Configuration Options" table for specific cartridge capacities.

The 3494 provides flexible connectivity to multiple systems. Host systems can be attached for library commands via RS-232, an industry-standard LAN, (token ring or Ethernet using either TCP/IP or APPC protocols), or by direct ESCON, FICON*, or parallel channel connections. This connectivity is designed to provide increased flexibility for sharing a 3494 in complex and growing environments.

The high reliability and availability designed into the 3494 can help promote additional savings in the form of less down time for maintenance, and increased system availability for user applications.

Business Solutions

The 3494 provides a central repository for enterprise data which can be accessed by authorized users. This ability can help reduce the overall cost of storing and accessing data. The Model L22 is designed to reduce tape handling, potentially resulting in reduced operations cost and improved tape mounting accuracy and security. Automated save/restore and data migration can help reduce access time to data and increase system utilization.

The Model L22 is a cost-effective tape-automation solution for large data applications such as save/restore, data archive or migration of data. The 3494 is designed to provide automatic access to data, enabling new applications, resulting in the potential for increased system utilization and reduction of disk storage growth.

As noted above, the enhanced PCI Library Manager feature (#5046) may be required to support the 3592 Model J1A Tape Drive. Back to top   Technical Description Physical Specifications Operating Environment Limitations Hardware Requirements Software Requirements The IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Automated Tape Library 3494 is designed to contain 3592, 3590, or 3490 Tape Drives for attachment to Parallel, ESCON, FICON, SCSI, and Fibre Channels on a variety of IBM and Open Systems hosts including zSeries, S/390, pSeries, RS/6000, iSeries, AS/400, Linux*, Windows, Sun, and HP. Not all drives attach to all interfaces. The 3494, at a minimum, consists of the Tape Library Base Frame Model L10, L12, L14, or L22. The Tape Library Base Frame Model L22 contains the library manager, one compartment capable of holding one cradle pair for housing up to four 3592 Tape Drives, and storage for 240 cartridges. With the Convenience I/O Station (#5210) installed, the cartridge capacity is 210 and with the 30 Cartridge Convenience I/O (#5230) installed the cartridge capacity is 160. The I/O stations permit the operator to input or output up to 10 (or 30) cartridges without interrupting normal library operations. At installation time, a variable sized high-capacity output facility can be specified to support adding 10, 20, 40, 80 or the full door of cartridges. Capacity of the full door is 160 without any Convenience I/O; 130 with the 10-cartridge Convenience I/O Station; and 80 with the 30-cartridge Convenience I/O Station installed. Specifying the High-Capacity I/O facility reduces the number of available cartridge storage cells. Using this facility also requires interrupting library operations for a short time. Space for the tape drives is provided at the bottom rear of the Tape Library Base Frame. Storage for cartridges is provided on both the upper inside wall and the door and are arranged in columns 40 high on the door and 20 high on the inside wall. The Model L22 will support up to 32 tape control unit functions, up to 8 RS-232 connections, and a LAN attachment (token ring or ethernet). Each Fibre Channel attached 3592 Model J1A, 3490E Model C1A, C2A, SCSI attached F1A, SCSI-attached 3590 Model H1A, E1A, or B1A, Fibre Channel attached 3590 Model H1A or E1A, and 3590 Model A50 or A00 Controller utilize one tape control unit connection. The 3490E Model F1A Control Unit (feature #3000 or #3500) requires one host RS-232 connection. The 3494 VTS Model B16 uses two tape control unit connections and one host processor connection. Tape control functions, (CXA/F1A/B1A/E1A/H1A/A50/A00/B16), can be mixed in any quantity up to 32 with appropriate features. The 3592 Model J70 Controller or 3590 Model A60 Controller utilizes one tape control unit connection for each feature #9061 specified. If the 3592 Model J70 or 3590 Model A60 attaches to the Attachment Concentrator (#5232), then one feature #9060 should be specified on the Model Lxx for each attached 3592 Model J70 or 3590 Model A60 and no tape control unit connection on the library manager is used. The quantity of tape transports supported is dependent on the mix of tape drives installed. Processor connections for library commands include up to 8 RS-232 connections, when #5229 is installed, and token ring or Ethernet LAN attachment. The quantity of LAN-attached processors is limited by the quantity of tape transport connections available. Each additional frame can contain up to 400 cartridges. Total cartridge storage capacity ranges from 160 to 6240 cartridges. The accessor rides on a linear rail which is extended when additional units are added. Movement of the accessor is horizontal, vertical, and 180 degree pivot. These movements allow the gripper(s) to access all cartridges on both sides of the aisle, as well as loading and unloading the tape drives. The accessor uses a barcode reader to identify external labels on the cartridges. The following requirements must be met for a cartridge not to be ejected during a new or complete 3494 inventory. Each cartridge in the 3494 must have a human and machine-readable external label on the end surface label area that identifies its volume serial number (VOLSER). Each Enterprise Tape Cartridge 3592 must have a label that includes the media identifier JA in both human and machine-readable form. All 3590 Extended High Performance Cartridge Tapes must have a separate single character label with the letter K in both human and machine-readable form. All High-Performance 3590 Cartridge Tapes must have a separate single character label with the letter J in both human and machine readable form. All Enhanced Capacity Cartridge System Tape cartridges must have a separate single character label with the letter E in both human and machine-readable form. Cartridge System Tape cartridges may either have no cartridge type label or a separate label with the character 1. No other machine-readable labels are allowed to be placed on the cartridge. The VOLSER on the external label should correspond to the internally-written label on the physical volume. The 3494 uses the external label to identify cartridges in the library during inventory and open-door verification operations. Except on cartridges that have been entered into the library via the externally-unlabeled tape support function the external label is also utilized to verify that the correct volume is selected during other library operations. It uses the media identifier, if present, to determine the type of the cartridge. The Dual Gripper is designed to help enhance performance of the accessor in the 3494 by eliminating the time required to return a demounted cartridge to storage before mounting the next cartridge. This enhanced performance raises the overall performance of the 3494 in longer configurations of three or more frames. Maximum performance is achieved by utilizing "floating home cell." This allows the accessor to store a cartridge to any empty cell instead of returning the cartridge to its original, or "fixed home cell" position. The Dual gripper may also improve data availability due to the redundancy of gripper hardware. When Dual Gripper is installed the top and bottom rows for cartridge storage become unavailable and are blocked off and the cartridge storage capacity is reduced by approximately 10%. Refer to the "3494 Configuration Options" table for specific cartridge capacities. The Differential SCSI-2 Adapter provides a means of attaching the Model L22 to the supported host processors for data communication. The processors can be attached to the library manager via a token ring or Ethernet LAN, or a RS-232 connection. Library commands flow through the RS-232 or LAN adapter while tape commands and data flow through the Differential SCSI-2 Adapter to the control unit of the tape subsystem. A mirrored dual disk is standard in the library manager of the 3494. It is designed to allow a non-disruptive switch-over to the secondary disk in the event of a loss of the primary disk. This provides the capability to recover the library manager data base in case of the failure of the primary disk drive, which may decrease the time to get back in operation. The Mount from Input Station function allows cartridges outside the library to be mounted on devices within the library and used to support stand-alone programs, such as IPL, that do not require the support of a full-operating system. The Mount from Input Station function allows one or more cartridges to be placed into the convenience I/O station and be mounted on a specific device, chosen by the operator from the library console, in the 3494. Mounts and demounts are handled by the library; mount/demount commands will not be accepted from the control program. The cartridges can be used for either reading or writing data. As each cartridge is unloaded from the device, it is returned to the I/O station. Cartridges mounted in this manner do not require any machine-readable external label enabling the use of the 3494 devices for interchange and software-update cartridges. In essence, the cartridges transit through the library to the device and back out of the library. In addition to Mount from Input Station for externally-unlabeled cartridges, for internally-unlabeled cartridges, there are other functions that allow the stand-alone software to either bypass label processing or provide non-labeled tape processing options. These two capabilities allow greater flexibility in planning for a customer's drive requirements. Inventory Update: Library Manager code contains the option of turning off the tape inventory process. This includes inventory during power-up, coming out of manual mode, and after an open-door interrupt. The inventory options available include: During Power-up and coming out of Manual Mode: Inventory complete library No inventory After Open Door: Inventory-only Opened Door Inventory Opened Door and Adjacent Doors No inventory Note: Inventory-only opened door or include adjacent doors is selectable during the Teach process. Externally-Unlabeled Tape Support: This function allows the operator to enter externally-unlabeled tapes into the 3494. The externally unlabeled tape must enter the library through the Input/Output station (#5210). The operator will assign an external label number and media type (standard, enhanced, or high performance), via the tape library console. The library will then accept this tape as if externally labeled. All library functions are now available to this externally unlabeled tape. Extreme care must be taken not to move an externally unlabeled tape during any open-door or manual activities. It is recommended that the externally-unlabeled tape be ejected as soon as the job is completed.

One feature #3490 (Redundant 2Gb Attach) must be specified on the 3494 Model D24 or D14 Frame to install a second 2Gb Fibre Channel Switch (#3487 or #4887) to provide redundancy. Feature #3491 or #9491 (External Fabric Support Field or Plant) is required on the 3494 Model D24 Frame in place of feature #3486 when attaching 3592 Tape Drives with a customer-supplied external fabric or direct connection between the controller and up to two drives. Model D22 or L22: There can be up to four drives in an adjacent Model L22 or D22 Feature #4065 (Adjacent Frame 3592 Tape Drives with SC Attachment) must be specified on a new or MES Model D22 or L22 when feature #3464 (SC Fibre Drive Attached Controller) is installed on the adjacent Model D24 Feature #4075 (Adjacent Frame 3592 Tape Drives with LC Attachment) must be specified on a new or MES Model D22 or L22 when feature #3474 (LC Fibre Drive Attached Controller) is installed on the adjacent Model D24 Feature #4085 (Adjacent Frame 2Gb 3592) must be specified on the associated 3494 Model L22 or D22 Frame that contains the other 3592 Tape Drives that will be attached to the Model J70 Controller with the 2Gb Fibre Channel Switch (#3487 or #4887). Up to 4 3592 Tape Drives can be installed in an adjacent Model L22 or 8 in a Model D22 Frame, for a total of up to 16 3592 Tape Drives attached to a 3592 Model J70 Controller depending on the number of #3487 or #4887 installed on the 3592 Model J70. Feature #3491 or #9491 (External Fabric Support Field or Plant) are required on the Model L22 or D22 Frame in place of feature #4085 when attaching 3592 Tape Drives with a customer-supplied external fabric. One feature #9002 must be applied to the Model L22 for each Model S10 that is attached in the first eight frames. One feature #9003 must be applied to the Model L22 for each Model D10, D12, D22, D14, or D24 that is attached in the first eight frames. One feature #9004 must be applied to the Model L22 and also each Model S10 that is attached in a 3494 beyond the first eight frames. One feature #9005 must be applied to the Model L22 and also each Model D10, D12, D22, D14, or D24 that is attached in a 3494 beyond the first eight frames. One feature #9006 must be applied to the Model L22 for each Model B16 VTS that is attached in the first eight frames. One feature #9007 must be applied to the Model L22 and to the Model B16 VTS that is attached in a 3494 beyond the first eight frames. This is required to assure that proper cables are shipped and configuration records are correct. One feature #5228 (Tape Control Unit Expansion) and feature #5229 (Expansion Attachment Card) are also required on the Model L22 when a Model B16 VTS is attached. To enable both accessors with attached Model HA1 Frames to operate simultaneously, the Dual Active Accessor (DAA) feature #5050 must be specified. When a Model B10, B18, or B20 VTS is attached, feature #5232 (Attachment Concentrator), and feature #9020 (Model B20, B10, or B18 VTS Attachment) are required on the Model L22. When a Model B18 VTS is attached, feature #5232 (Attachment Concentrator), and feature #9020 (Model B18 VTS Attachment) are required on the Model L22. The standard 3494 allows four RS232 host connections and four tape control unit connections. The Expansion Attachment Card feature #5229 provides an additional four RS232 host connections and four tape control unit connections. The Tape Control Unit Expansion feature #5228 can convert the four host connections to four tape control unit connections on either the standard 3494 or the Expansion Attachment Card, providing a total of up to 16 tape control unit connections. The 32 Port Attachment feature #5227 provides an additional 16 tape control unit connections. Up to 32 SCSI or Fibre-Channel attached tape drives can be installed in a single library. A Model B16 VTS requires one host connection and two control unit connections, plus from three to six additional control unit connections for the drives in the associated Model D12. Thus a 3494 that contains a Model B16 VTS can have up to ten other tape control units installed, depending on the number of associated 3590 drives and the quantity of feature #5228 installed (or up to 26 with feature #5227 installed), with the actual maximum number as shown below: Maximum Number of Tape Control Units (When Model B16 VTS Installed) 3494-B16 CONFIGURATION One #5228 Two #5228 ----------------------------------- --------- --------- Three 3590 drives in associated D12 7 10 Four 3590 drives in associated D12 6 9 Five 3590 drives in associated D12 5 8 Six 3590 drives in associated D12 4 7 Note: Feature #5227 adds 16 to each of the above numbers. Note: Feature #5228 is not required if Model HA1 Frames are attached to the 3494 Model L10, L12, L14, or L22. A Tape Control Unit is one Fibre Channel attached 3592-J1A, 3490-C1A/C2A, 3490-F1A, a SCSI-attached 3590-H1A/E1A/B1A, Fibre Channel attached 3590-H1A/E1A, or 3590-A50 or A00 in any combination. The 3490E Model F1A Control Unit (feature #3000 or #3500) requires one host RS-232 connection. The Model B16 VTS uses two tape control unit connections and one host processor connection. The 3592 Model J70 or 3590 Model A60 Controller utilizes one tape control unit connection for each feature #9061 specified. If the 3592 Model J70 or 3590 the Model A60 attaches to the Attachment Concentrator (#5232), then one feature #9060 should be specified on the Model Lxx for each attached 3592 Model J70 or 3590 Model A60 and no tape control unit connection on the library manager is used. If the configuration of frames in an installed 3494 needs to be changed, for example, if frames must be moved to install a Model B16 VTS, or if frames must be moved from one 3494 to another, then an RPQ request must be processed before the library can be reconfigured. An RPQ is required for moving feature numbers 5300, 5302, 5304, and 5400, or Models B16 VTS, D10, D12, D14, D24, and S10 which will ensure that the proper cables are available. The Enterprise Tape Library 3494 Model L22 will contain the new PCI library manager. The enhanced PCI Library Manager feature (#9046) must be added to each new order for a Model L22 or HA1 to indicate its presence. When upgrading to a Model L22, you can take advantage of the improved technology and performance of this library manager, by ordering the enhanced PCI Library Manager feature (#5046) with the model conversion to a Model L22. This may be required to support the 3592 Model J1A Tape Drive. Any 3494 Model L1x with feature number 9020, or one that has a library manager (LM) installed since May 15, 2000, should have a "compatible" LM that will work with the 3592 Model J1A. Any prior LM is not "compatible" and must be replaced. If the LM microcode level is at 527.xx or above, then the LM hardware prerequisites are already satisfied. The LM microcode level can be checked by selecting "About" from the "Help" pull-down menu on the LM Operator Menu. You may need the assistance of a customer engineer to determine if the enhanced PCI Library Manager feature (#5046) must be ordered. LAN PCI Library Manager All 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Models L12, L22, or HA1 shipped after October 29, 2004, will contain the new LAN PCI Library Manager. The LAN PCI Library Manager feature (#9047) must be added to each new order for a Model L12, L22, or HA1. The LAN PCI Library Manager offers the same technology and performance as the enhanced PCI Library Manager feature (9046), but comes enabled for EASH attachment. The LAN PCI Library Manager feature (#5047) can be ordered for any installed 3494 Tape Library Base Frame Model L10, L12, or L14, or 3494 High Availability Frame Model HA1 so they both have the same Library Manager (LM). With this LM, the 3494 will no longer come standard with four RS232 connections and four tape control unit connections. If these connections are required, the following feature should be ordered with the LM feature (#9047 or #5047): 5225 (Base Tape Control Unit Attachment) - which provides four RS232 connections and four tape control unit serial cable connections. This feature can be installed when EASH attachment is also used. Note: Feature #5225 is required if any feature #53xx or #55xx is installed on the Model Lxx. Also, if the 3494 Tape Library includes a Model HA1 and one LM has feature #5225, or does not have #5047 or #9047, then feature #5225 is required on the other LM. A new LM may need to be ordered for the 3494 Model L1x to have a compatible LM when adding the High Availability Frames 3494 Model HA1 (the addition of feature number 9040 on the Tape Library Base Frame Model L10, L12, or L14), attaching 3592 Tape Drives to a 3494 Tape Library, or supporting any of the features and functions in this announcement. The LAN PCI Library Manager feature (#9047 or #5047) is required when adding a new 3494 Model HA1 to any installed 3494 that does not have an LM installed after May 15, 2000, the PCI Library Manager feature (#5046 or #9046), or a VTS installed in the 3494 (feature #9020 on the 3494 Model L1x). Even though the 3494 with a VTS has a compatible LM, if the PCI Library Manager feature (#5046 or #9046) is not installed, it may be desirable to order the LAN PCI Library Manager on the 3494 Model L1x for the performance advantages it offers. The Remote Support features (#2710, #2711, and #2712) are no longer required on the 3494 and all service support can be done through the IBM TotalStorage Master Console features (#2713, #2714, and #2715). Increased open system hosts The microcode firmware provided with the LAN PCI Library Manager (#9047 or #5047) includes the capability to support attachment of up to 64 LAN attached open system hosts. This capability can be added to an installed PCI Library Manager (#5046 or #9046) with the addition of the following feature: 5222 (Additional 32 LAN Attached Open Systems Hosts) The hosts are attached via the LAN interface to the LM. The LAN interface can be through either the Token Ring Adapter feature (#5219) or Ethernet Adapter feature (#5220). This is in addition to the 8 open systems hosts that may be connected through the serial interface provided by the 32 Port Attachment feature (#5227) or the Tape Control Unit Attachment feature (#5229). Increased open systems tape drives Tape drives in each 3494 Model Dxx Frame can now connect to an Ethernet Attached Serial Hub (EASH) feature instead of by a serial cable back to the LM in the 3494 Base Frame Model Lxx. Each pair of EASH devices can support up to the maximum number of drives in the 3494 Tape Library Dxx Frame they reside in, and communicate via an Ethernet interface back to the LM in the 3494 Base Frame Model Lxx. A total of 96 open systems tape drives can communicate via the EASH interface. Combined with the 32 open systems tape drives that can communicate via the serial interfaces of the LM in the 3494 Model Lxx Frame, a total of 128 open systems tape drives may now be attached to a single 3494 Tape Library. To attach the Tape Drives to the EASH, the following features must be installed: On each 3494 Model Dxx or Lxx Frame with tape drives: 5184 (Ethernet Attached Serial Hub) - one per frame on a 3494 Model D12, D22, L12, or L22, which provides two EASH devices in each frame for redundancy. On each 3494 Model D12 or D22 Frame with a tape controller: 9060 (Attach Controller to 3494 Concentrator) - must be specified instead of feature #9061 (Attach Controller to 3494 RS422 Connection) when feature #5225 (Base Control Unit Attachment) is not installed on the 3494 Model Lxx Frame, to provide Ethernet cables from the tape controller to the 3494 concentrator. On each 3494 Model Lxx and HA1 Frame with an EASH anywhere in the library: 9184 (EASH Enablement) - this must be on the Model L10, L12, L14, or L22, and on the Model HA1 if feature #5184 is installed in a Model Dxx or Lxx Frame, to enable an EASH connection on the LM. 5232 (Attachment Concentrator) - provides the internal attachment to the LM. 5246 (Dual Path Concentrator) - is also required for EASH attachment to provide a dual path to the drive helping eliminate a Single Point of Failure (SPOF) and Single Point of Repair (SPOR). An LM that was shipped after May 15, 2000, or one of the following features on the Model Lxx: 5047 or 9047 (LAN PCI Library Manager) 5046 or 9046 (PCI Library Manager) 9020 (Model B20, B10, or B18 VTS Attachment) A pair of Ethernet cables is provided from the LM to each frame with EASH devices.
